Veloce - Centaur upgrade.
I am currently upgrading my bike.
To be a bit informed before talking to the LBS, I would appreciate any advice in relation to upgrading veloce to centaur, in particular cost and performance. Is it really worth the extra $$. Thanks in advance for your help. |

The current (2007-08) Centaur/Veloce/Mirage shifters have a mechanism which is apparently interchangeable with the pre-2007 Xenon shifters ... The most recent Centaur group has some Carbon Fiber components, now. Presuming you have a relatively recent group (post-2001 with rounded shifter hoods), you CAN simply buy a new Ultra Torque crankset (or, Shimano Hollotech II, FSA MegaExo, etc. crankset) to upgrade your bike in a somewhat meaningful way ... OR, continue to use the current group, as is, BUT install new cables & housing + new handlebar tape and/or a new chain rather than "upgrade" your bike ... |
